Your social security definitely isn't divisible and your disability pension may not be divisible either.

However, that doesn't preclude you having to pay some alimony if her overall income is considerably less than yours. You have a very long term marriage.

You will each be entitled to 1/2 of the marital assets and be responsible for 1/2 of the marital debts. Expect that both of you will have to downsize.

She will probably also be eligible for Social Security when she retires based on his income if it is higher than hers. That has no impact on his benefits, so it shouldn't concern him, though.
